Chapter 138: Good news
"Uncle! Are you really planning to choose Lord Yin? He has offended a lot of people! "Gu Wanqian personally inquired about the news, of course he knew Yin Kun's situation.
"Afraid of what? Let's just open a restaurant in the capital! Lord Yin is not involved in all the affairs of the restaurant, he only needs to sit in charge on the opening day. Since he dares to agree, then there is a way, we can give him 20% of the profit! Will he still be able to give up all this money? ”
Gu Chengyu had already discussed the matter of the restaurant with Yin Kun yesterday, and Yin Kun did have concerns at first. It's just that he agreed later, and Gu Chengyu couldn't help but think of Anhehou's Mansion.
Yin Mansion and An and Hou Mansion are in-laws, although Hou Mansion is now in decline, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
The Anhe Marquis Mansion was the title obtained by Emperor Jiaren, and when the dynasty usurped the throne, the first Marquis of the Hou Mansion contributed a lot. Although there are no outstanding juniors in the Hou Mansion now, Emperor Huiming will not treat the Hou Mansion slowly for the sake of having the merits of the dragon before.
Therefore, even if the current Hou Ye of the Hou Mansion is a literati and does not know how to dance knives and guns, he can now be a Langzhong in the household department, which is the fifth grade; The second master of the Hou Mansion was appointed as the temple of Guanglu Temple, but he only came from the sixth grade.
It stands to reason that since the saint wants to take care of the old nobles, he should not be able to give such a low official position, but who told the Liang family to have a first assistant? The Hou Mansion can only make way for the side branches.
Gu Chengyu guessed that maybe in order to make up for the concubine, the teacher married the second daughter of the Hou Mansion to his eldest disciple, but this was also his guess.
The relationship between the family is complicated, and the Anhe Hou Mansion is not without powerful in-laws, and the officials of the capital always have to look at each other.
These truths couldn't be explained for a while, so Gu Chengyu only asked Gu Wanqian to prepare for the opening.
"When I go back, you will stay in the capital to do some work, and the third son will follow you in the future, let him learn some words, you just have to call him." When I go back this time, in more than a month, I may have to come to the capital to go to school, and the affairs of the capital will be handed over to you and Steward Yu for the time being! ”
Gu Chengyu went to Yin's Mansion yesterday, and Yin Kun told Gu Chengyu that the teacher said in the letter that he wanted to recommend Gu Chengyu to study in Guozijian.
In fact, before coming to the capital, the teacher mentioned it to him, but at that time, Gu Chengyu had not yet taken the township test, and Gu Chengyu felt that it was too early to say this.
Yin Kun mentioned this matter again yesterday, probably because he thought that Gu Chengyu had a great chance of passing the township test. Besides, even if he doesn't pass the township exam, it's okay to enter the Guozijian as a student, after all, his previous grades were quite good.
Although Liang Zhirui has become a minister, in the court, this face is still there.
Gu Wanqian originally felt that he was a little apprehensive about handing over such a big stall in the capital to him, but when he heard that Gu Chengyu could come to the capital to study, he was relieved, and with Gu Chengyu here, he dared to let go of his hands and feet.
"It's great that my uncle can come to Guozijian to study, Guozijian is the highest university, and my nephew is here to congratulate my uncle!"
"It's just a national prison quota! The hard work of the cold window is for the title of the gold list, and this township test is the top priority at present. ”
The township test will be released in five days, and even Gu Chengyu will inevitably be affected.
"Uncle was still a little three-yuan before! The township test shouldn't be difficult for uncle, right? Gu Wanqian was very confident in Gu Chengyu, he always felt that if something difficult came into Gu Chengyu's hands, it could be solved.
Gu Chengyu shook his head after hearing this, and said with a smile: "This can't be nonsense, if you let others know, I will get carried away!" ”
In the next few days, Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian walked around the capital and bought some special products from the capital for their families.
Five days later, this time it was the day of the list, and Gu Chengyu and the others were waiting in the lobby of the inn early. At this time, the students living in the inn were already in the lobby, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the good news of the township test.
"Son! You're going to have to fight this time! You're in your thirties this year, and if you don't win again, your father won't be able to afford it, and you can only go back to find a school to be a master. ”
There was a father and son next to Gu Chengyu who were talking, and the person who said this was an old man who was about fifty years old. I saw him holding a scholar who was standing up, talking with one hand still wiping tears on the side.
"Daddy! What are you doing here? If I win the move, I will be able to become an official, and our family will be able to work hard. Didn't I promise you before? If so, I won't take the test next time. ”
The scholar shook his head and sighed, looking quite sad. Gu Chengyu observed the other party's clothes, thinking that it was the embarrassment at home, and he really couldn't afford it.
This examinee, Gu Chengyu, had also noticed that he had moved in on the third day after Gu Chengyu. However, he lives in a low-class room, and he is exempted from entering, Gu Chengyu often goes downstairs to pay attention to the students who answer the questions to see how the level of others is.
Since this candidate's answer can be passed, it means that his knowledge is not bad. It's just that there was a small episode when he moved in, and his room money was reduced, but his father couldn't be exempted. He wanted to answer two more questions, but the rules of the inn were that he could only do it once, so in the end he had no choice but to pay for the room.
In fact, what Gu Chengyu didn't understand was that since he knew that Shangjing was expensive, and the more people in the guest house would have more room money, why did his father follow him to Beijing?
However, that is also someone else's business, after Gu Chengyu was puzzled, he left it behind, because there was a good news of the errand, and rushed towards their inn.
"Township test success! Su Yang, the master of He Fengding Mansion, won the ninety-sixth place in the Jingcheng and Rural Examination......" An errand officer galloped to the door of the inn on horseback, holding the good news in his hand while singing loudly.
"Daddy! It's me! It's me! I'm in! I got a lift in the exam! ”
Gu Chengyu turned his head and saw that it was the son who spoke just now, but he didn't expect that he was the first to receive good news from the inn?
"Son! Really hit? Did you win? His father didn't seem to believe it, and asked repeatedly.
"Uncle, your son has been hit! It's a man! The inn's shopkeeper immediately came forward to congratulate, their inn every year to live in a lot of people and jinshi, this is the first good news of this year's township test, of course he is also happy.
The inn suddenly became lively, no matter what they thought, all the students congratulated one after another, and even the shopkeeper began to make witty words.
"Son! Now that you have won the lift, then we can talk about the marriage of our eldest man! Lao Suo was at a loss for joy, and when he looked up, his son had tears in his eyes.
"Uncle, let the master reward others!" The others saw that the messenger had arrived and gave Su Yang the good news. And Su Yang didn't seem to have recovered from the joy yet, and hurriedly reminded him kindly.
"Yes, yes, hurry, Yang Er quickly give the silver!"
"Seiyu! I don't know if we can be admitted to the lifter? Sun Xian looked at Su Yang and was very envious in his heart, although the ranking was not very high, but that was too much, wasn't it?
